New releases for the week ending February 24th 2017

I was half way through this weeks post before I realized I had to delete it and start again because the albums I had selected had not been released this week even though it had been claimed on bandcamp. So while I consider if it is worth my time creating the full list each week, if I can’t be sure about release dates, I will look forward to the releases listed for tomorrow instead.

These are the releases I could find preview streams for

Mobina Galore – Feeling Disconnected (New Damage Records)

Pick a Piper – Distance (Abandon Building)

Timid, the Brave – Firesale (Other Songs Music Co.)

Napalmpom – The Core Competencies of Napalmpom (Teenage Rampage)
You can listen on their own site

and these are the others (now edited to include streams made available after release)

Allan Rayman – Roadhouse 1

Beyries – Landing (Independent)

Gregory Pepper and His Problems – Black Metal Demo Tape (Fake Four Inc.)

Leif Vollebekk – Twin Solitude (Secret City)

Peter Peter – Noir Eden (Audiogram)

The Franklin Electric – Blue Ceilings (Indica)

The Luyas – Human Voicing (Paper Bag)

No Joy – CREEP (Grey Market)

Should we make this the regular post and drop the bandcamp releases page all together?
If you know of a full album stream for any of the missing releases above please let us know in the comments and I will update the post.

Hello
janet athanasiou (@janada59) February 23, 2017 at 06:37

Good morning!

I’m looking forward to checking out the new Mobina Galore, and Napalmpom.
Benoit from Ottawa February 23, 2017 at 06:51

Goooooood morning or afternoon! (The thought occurs that someone could object to Napalmpom as a name, the same way as to Vietcong (now, ugh, Preoccupations).
GarfieldUK February 23, 2017 at 07:01

@BfO next you’ll be telling me that people will complain about TV quotes on t-shiirts

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/02/21/walking-dead-t-shirt-racist-primark-pulls-item-following-complaint/

I’m off out to the shops through the wind and rain. If I am not back by Monday feel free to send a search party… or not.

(I think I am turning into Eeyore)
Benoit from Ottawa February 23, 2017 at 07:32

garf, funny. Because, here at least, the n word coming up in the next line was long ago replaced by “tiger”. SInce at least the Seventies, maybe even the Sixties.
janet athanasiou (@janada59) February 23, 2017 at 07:36

I only knew the rhyme as “tiger”, in fact I think I was an adult before I learned the original line.

Good luck braving the wind and rain, Eeyore!

Good morning everyone!

Good morning!
GarfieldUK February 23, 2017 at 08:08

I’m back
GarfieldUK February 23, 2017 at 08:22

@BfO When I was a young child we would use the N word, but that was long before we knew what it meant and by the time I was a teenager it had changed to tiger and in the past few days I have seen the word piggy used instead.
darbarspecial February 23, 2017 at 09:12

I too grew up with the word tiger in the rhyme but was aware that it was a replacement word. As to the outcry over the shirt, it seems a bit overboard. It was a very creepy line and a terrifying part in the show that had nothing to do with race.
darbarspecial February 23, 2017 at 09:18

As to the new music question, you know how I feel about the bandcamp new releases I think. Way too much work for what it’s worth but you were the one doing it.

I got a chance to listen to Leif Vollebekk’s new album and it is marvelous. You will be hearing a lot more about that album in the months ahead. Peter Peter and The Luyas I look forward to hearing more from as well. Mobina Galore finally releasing another album is very exciting. Napalmpom should also be a good listen. Yay for new music!
GarfieldUK February 23, 2017 at 09:21

I didn’t mind putting the page together because it was something I knew I could do. It was just taking the data from a site, messing around with it a bit, and posting it here.
GarfieldUK February 23, 2017 at 09:30

Can you think of any mis-spelled/mis-heard pop stars, for example

David Buoy
Joan Armour Plating
Diana Loss.
darbarspecial February 23, 2017 at 09:44

There seemed to be some that got some use out of all the bandcamp releases. I still found it just too much for me. I did prefer you just putting a few tracks up on the post with the rest on another page.

The playlist post tomorrow is about Searchlight. I am having trouble getting through all the Searchlight entries as well. I will be needing help!
GarfieldUK February 23, 2017 at 10:04

It looks like the page was accessed once a day on average which is more than I had expected
GarfieldUK February 23, 2017 at 10:07

I keep wondering if I should contact the bands with releases next week to see if they would allow us to stream the day before release. The ones up there are “borrowed” from other sites, I didn’t think they would mind with only one day to go.
darbarspecial February 23, 2017 at 10:42

We could switch it to Fridays and have Playlist Thursday instead. Thursdays are usually my best evening to work on posts but if I plan ahead it isn’t an issue.
GarfieldUK February 23, 2017 at 11:13

I like the idea of it being a preview of the following days releases but I will update the post on Fridays so people can listen over the weekend
darbarspecial February 23, 2017 at 11:23

I like that as well.
GarfieldUK February 23, 2017 at 11:30

Mobina Galore and Napalmpom have both liked the link posted on facebook (nice work Justin)
darbarspecial February 23, 2017 at 11:35

Awesome!
janet athanasiou (@janada59) February 23, 2017 at 11:40

That’s awesome!
morgana February 23, 2017 at 12:10

I think I am finally getting better!
I was not able to go to see Old Man last week because I was so far gone.
Today I am going to meet with a staffer for a local festival to see what I can as a volunteer.
morgana February 23, 2017 at 12:13

I am going to start my listening with bands I do not know but I am looking forward to getting to The Luyas as well as Leif Vollebekk.
darbarspecial February 23, 2017 at 12:17

Hi morgana. I am glad you are getting better.

Enjoy!
morgana February 23, 2017 at 12:17

this is looking interesting as well

Hi Darbar. You all better?
morgana February 23, 2017 at 12:20

The lineup is rolling out;

janet athanasiou (@janada59) February 23, 2017 at 12:27

I see the Jerry Cans are playing Kaslo, I have much ROMO on that, I’d love to see them play live, but don’t think they’ll ever make the trek down here.
GarfieldUK February 23, 2017 at 12:28

I have added that festival to the calendar
morgana February 23, 2017 at 12:42

@Janet I am particularity looking forward to hearing them live. Have you listened to the Tanya T and Buffy St M single that is on the Polaris page? You may enjoy it as well.
morgana February 23, 2017 at 12:44

@Eeyore we have that? Cool!
GarfieldUK February 23, 2017 at 12:52

Would I be right in thinking that the health benefits of the hazel nuts I just ate were offset by the fact they came in a bar of chocolate?
GarfieldUK February 23, 2017 at 12:54

@Morgana you can find it here http://bit.ly/CMFChtml
morgana February 23, 2017 at 12:55

That can’t be true or else the almonds I just ate have also been cancelled out by the chocolate wrapper.
GarfieldUK February 23, 2017 at 12:55

I just need to go through this lot to see what I am missing

morgana February 23, 2017 at 12:59

No shortage of fun to be had out there!
GarfieldUK February 23, 2017 at 13:00

I changed my wallpaper to this today

morgana February 23, 2017 at 13:04

?
excellent choice?
janet athanasiou (@janada59) February 23, 2017 at 13:05

@Morgana, I did and I love it!

I think the health benefits of the hazelnuts are still present, they just have a tasty delivery method.
darbarspecial February 23, 2017 at 13:05

I am mostly better. A bit of cough left and energy not quite there yet but much better. Thanks.

Jerry Cans are in Searchlight this year and have gotten a few votes from me. Kaslo would be so much fun and I wish I could make it happen.

That Tanya and Buffy collab was fabulous!
morgana February 23, 2017 at 13:06

there it is! Oh I do love Eeyore, so sincere.
GarfieldUK February 23, 2017 at 13:06

I couldn’t insert the image so I had to change it to the link instead
GarfieldUK February 23, 2017 at 13:09

I had an Eeyore shell on my Nokia 3310 phone in my 30’s, apparently I was too old for that according to some people
morgana February 23, 2017 at 13:13

@Darbar I am not sure that I can make it to Kaslo yet either. I was turned down for the days off. We are going to have a trainee soon so I hope I can get them to take the shifts that are currently preventing me from attending.
I don’t recall there being Polaris collaborations before … am I just gapping? My kid really likes it as well.
morgana February 23, 2017 at 13:14

@garfielduk bah! just tell the haters that E.E. Milne would disagree with them.
GarfieldUK February 23, 2017 at 13:15

It’s not like took any notice of them 🙂
darbarspecial February 23, 2017 at 13:17

Polaris has had artists covering other artists but I am not sure about collabs. Apparently Tanya and Buffy started working on it at the gala last year. Love it!
morgana February 23, 2017 at 13:17

perhaps the hipsters would go for this more

GarfieldUK February 23, 2017 at 13:20

have you seen this
http://www.strongmindbraveheart.com/winnie-pooh-characters-mental-disorders/

I read the report it’s based a a few years ago. I’ll see if I can dig it up.
morgana February 23, 2017 at 13:21

the prawns and snapper that I bought over a week ago were never cooked because I was sick. now I have to deal with them; so nasty and stinky!! no zen in this gross job! i’ll be back after I recover.
GarfieldUK February 23, 2017 at 13:24

I think this is the original report
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC80580/

and here is how the BBC covered it
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/1068391.stm
janet athanasiou (@janada59) February 23, 2017 at 13:32

Those articles about Winnie the Pooh and the mental health disorders make me sad. Those researchers need to stop overthinking childhood favourites.
GarfieldUK February 23, 2017 at 13:34

to be fair it was over 16 years ago now
janet athanasiou (@janada59) February 23, 2017 at 13:45

I’m glad they didn’t continue with that area of research then 🙂
GarfieldUK February 23, 2017 at 13:49

You have to remember that many children have these health problems and seeing a character in a story that they can relate to is good for them
janet athanasiou (@janada59) February 23, 2017 at 13:57

That makes sense. Having relatable characters are important.
janet athanasiou (@janada59) February 23, 2017 at 14:01

And with that, I’m off! Have a good night!

Someone just drove a car into the streetcar tunnel at Union Station

Cars aren’t supposed to drive through the streetcar tunnel at Union Station, but for the second time in less than a year, a car found itself stuck in the tracks beneath Toronto’s busiest transit hub.
